About this reading layout
Source wording, punctuation, paragraph boundaries and supplied line breaks are retained. Long prose also has editorial reading breaks at sentence boundaries. Substantial passages already enclosed in double quotation marks are set apart; this does not identify their source or establish a connection.
These added breaks are reading aids, not claims about the original manuscript’s layout. Poetry is lineated only where the downloaded text supplies line breaks. References and edition notes remain with their text.
Chapter 3
1. I realize I am giving ⟦page 45⟧ the answer in complex language. There is nothing, however, hard (to understand about) the word of truth.
2. Because, however, the answer appeared so nothing would remain hidden, but to make all things about existence manifest, (the result was) the obliteration of evil on the one hand, (and) on the other hand the revelation of the chosen ones.
3. (All) this is the emanation of truth and spirit, grace being from truth.
4. People do not consider you unaware that the Savior swallowed up death,
5. because he dispensed with the perishable world.
6. He transformed [it] into an imperishable aeon and raised himself up, swallowing up the visible by means of the invisible, thus paving the way for us to our immortality.
